Are we doing exit surveys in our hospitals? Someone else raised this. I have come across HSE staff who have raised concerns that no one is asking the questions as to why people are leaving. Is it because they have young families and the appropriate hours they require are not being given to them? I have heard that people who have young families are not being accommodated at all. These are really well-trained nurses who suddenly find they are being given hours they cannot be available for. There is no adjustment being given at all. Why are we not doing detailed exit surveys?
